Answer:
2 toys.
Step-by-step explanation:
Please consider the complete question.
A store is organizing toys into bins. The toys must be put into bins so that each bin contains the same number of toys without mixing the toys. Â What is the greatest number of toys that can be put in a bin?
Toy              Number of toys
Anemones               12
Limpets                 14
Snails                   18
To find the greatest number of toys that can be put in a bin, we need to find greatest common factor of 12, 14 and 18.
Prime factorization of 12: Â [tex]2\times 2\times 3[/tex]
Prime factorization of 14: Â [tex]2\times 7[/tex]
Prime factorization of 18: Â [tex]2\times 3\times 3[/tex]
We can see that the greatest common factor of 12, 14 and 18 is 2, therefore, 2 toys can be put in a bin.
